5 Simple Ways to Encourage Your Kids
This past Mother's Day, my pastor brought his mom on stage and asked her to share tidbits of wisdom she'd passed to him throughout the years. The best was when he said his mother would tell him: "Everyone loves you, and if they don't, they're stupid." The audience howled, as you can imagine, but as she spoke that morning, what became clear was that this mama knew how to encourage her son.
"Encourage means to give someone courage," my pastor said. As a mom to a 6-and-a-half-year-old and 2-year-old, there's nothing I'd like more than to instill that sense of encouragement in my girls. I may not always be around when discouragement strikes, so here are some practices we're putting into play. Add your own in the comments!
Five Simple Ways To Encourage Your Kids
1. Effort is Everything
Be their biggest cheerleader, but choose the cheer carefully. When kids are praised for their ability, they fail to focus on their effort. Celebrate the effort and they'll continue to push themselves past their ability.
2. Together as a Team
My daughter suggested we come up with an actual cheer to help us feel encouraged before a challenging task. I reminded her that we often say "Go Team Davis!" (mostly tongue-in-cheek) whenever we've accomplished something. It helps us remember we're not in this alone. There's strength and comfort in togetherness.
3. Attitude Determines Altitude
Actions speak louder than words. The clichés are endless, but the fact isyou can talk about having courage and a good attitude, but if yours stinks, it'll show up–most likely in your kids. Have courage for yourself. Acknowledge bad days and tough times (for yourself and your kids), and use them as teaching opportunities.
4. Know the Source
Our courage comes from God. His ways are not our ways. We don't have to rely on our own strength. Help your child commit Joshua 1:9 to memory: "Be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the Lord your God is with you wherever you go" (NLT). Some others that will provide encouragement are: Zephaniah 3:17, Jeremiah 29:11 and Proverbs 3:5-6.
5. Love, Love, Love
1 Peter 4:8 says love covers over a multitude of sins. The Message paraphrase says, "Love makes up for practically anything." How true that is! When I asked my daughter what would help her feel encouraged or give her courage after a bad day, she said hugs and kisses.
It takes such little effort on our part to show our kids love and erase discouragement. The more we do it, the less we'll need to worry about anything.
Every day as I drop off my child at school we have a routine. I say, "Madilyn, I hope you have a won-der-ful day" (wonderful is always super dramatic). She responds with, "I will."
Encouragement and affirmation. A hug and a kiss. Give them freely and watch your little ones blossom.

Divorced at 48, I fell hard for ‘Ethan’—Navy pilot, sweet voice notes, endless “I love yous.” He showed crypto wins, said we’d retire rich together. Convinced me to send $245K in Bitcoin to his “private military family trading group” for 24% monthly returns. Gone the next day. No trace. I collapsed on the kitchen floor at 4 a.m., sobbing, heart shattered twice—used, broke, worthless. Desperate, I found JetWebHackers. Messaged in tears. They tracked the crypto fast, recovered every cent in weeks. Funds hit… I cried pure relief, finally breathing again. They didn’t just return money—they gave me back hope. Romance scam victim? Don’t give up. JetWebHackers are real heroes who fight for broken hearts.#JetWebHackers

Single Mom Loses $310K to Fake Charity Investment Scam…
Raised two kids alone, worked overtime as a cashier, bought school supplies myself, saved $310K for their college and a better home. ‘Emily’ connected online, shared my struggles, pitched “ethical” charity-linked investments with 20% monthly returns to help families. Trusted her story, sent it all. Lost everything. Locked in bathroom, collapsed crying—sure I’d stolen my kids’ future. Found JetWebHackers at midnight. Messaged broken. They traced fast, recovered full $310K in weeks. Funds arrived… held kids’ photo, tears of joy overflowing. They rebuilt my hope. If scammed, don’t give up—JetWebHackers are real saviors. Thank you deeply! God bless.

Living with Herpes simplex was depression for me even with my doctor’s advice and medication. My name is Vicky Moore I live in Chicago, Illinois and this is my story. I browsed the Internet in search of remedies or something but unfortunately nothing new, all still had the same results. Sadly I almost quit on myself, it was around 7:30 in the morning when my therapist called me over to her house, at first I was skeptical, but I went anyways on getting there she was smiling and said there’s living proof now, she showed me a lady who also suffered from herpes simplex 3years back and now she is cured by a doctor who also studied natural herbs. I was amazed and lost for words I even doubted but showed me a doctor’s report test. So I contacted the doctor and weeks later, I was cured. So I would love to use this medium to say a big thank you to my therapist and Dr. Chalopa. This story is shared to others like me out there. However, he also treats other illnesses.
